THE mum of a Liverpool teen accused of kicking a man to death told how he confessed to taking part in an attack and then went on holiday to Wales.

The 14-year-old boy is one of three teenagers charged with the murder of heavy drinker Kevin Bennett, who was badly beaten behind the Iceland store in Walton last summer and died six days later.

The sobbing mum, who cannot be named for legal reasons, explained how her son did not live with her but turned up at her house unexpectedly and acting upset on August 17, the day of the alleged killing.

She said: “He said mum something terrible has happened. I said what’s happened? He said he had been by Iceland. He mentioned another boy.

“He said the man had gone to grab the other boy. He said the man was a drunk and he said the other boy had picked up a brick.

“He said mum I stood on the man, on his chest. I think he said his ribs. He was in shock.”

She said a family member who looks after the boy then came to her house and took him away. She added: “He said I’ll go to the police station on Saturday. I’ll see you later. But I didn’t see him later.”
